CHAMPIONSHIP MANAGER `93 - HINTS `N` TIPS
-----------------------------------------
1. On a one-player game, still pick two teams - one for yourself and one
with good players and lots of money. Now in the pre-season you will be
able to buy their good players for little cost and in return sell them
your rubish ones.
2. Although old players are likely to retire after a couple of seasons,
their low cost and high abilities still make them a wise investment.
The use of mature premier league players (such as Gary Mabbut) will
help you rise up from the lower divisions.
3. High performance youngsters are also worth signing up. A good way of
improving them is to bring them on a sub when your team is a few goals
up. They will invariably get a good rating which will increase their
value for the future.
4. Actually, the best thing to do is to buy young players to cover for the
posistions held by the old players (27+). When decline for the old guys
seems imminent, you can sell them off to a suitably gullible club
before their values fall - by this stage the young player should be
experienced enough to take over.
5. In a two-player game, if a computer team expresses an interest in one
of your players then get your human counterpart to approach to buy (but
don`t actually bid). This will make things nastier for the
cash-wielding computer team in question.
6. The best formation to use is 5-3-2. The use of three central
mid-fielders is the important factor, as your success in the game is
virtually dependent on the strengths in this posistion. (As the success
of Inca, Keane, McClair and Robson goes to show). You should have five
or six decent mid-fielders in your squad and alternate them to maintain
fitness. Use variations in strengths also; where you might have all
players with Pace and Passing, it is wise to blend your flair players
with your hard tacklers.
7. Use a sweaper who is good at passing, heading and creativity. Push
forward on the full backs for extra width and remember their
distribution skills are perhaps even more important than their tackling
abilities. This type of team suits the counter attack and pass to feet
approach and is always successful.
